The phoenix orchid is once again in bloom! I think I can smell it from here, and we're not even at the greenhouse! We may not all be lucky enough to have phoenix orchids popping up in our gardens, but I'll bet almost all of you have something beautiful blooming! Or maybe nature isn't really your thing? Perhaps you find more beauty in the gleam of metal? Whip out your camera and show me what you find most beautiful, be it natural or industrial, and you might just win yourself a prize!

For the first category, Fabulous Flora, take a photo of a flower (or a lot of flowers!) of any type you like. It's easy to walk out to the garden and take a quick snap, but try to get creative with angles! Don't forget the macro setting!

The second category, Industrial Ingenuity, will require a bit more imagination from you. Inspired by the airships of Duval, I want you to take an industrial-themed picture. Pipes, valves, steam, and engines are all examples of what fits here. One big rule, though: no electricity! If the object of your photo has electrical components, that's fine, but I don't want to see them in your photo. No wires, switchboards, display screens, or plugs. Think steampunk!

Rules
  • All photos must be accompanied by a proof photo. A proof photo should be very similar to your original photo, but with a slip of paper with your username on it visible. If your proof photo looks nothing like your submission, it will not be accepted. For example, if my submission was this photo, my proof photo would need to look like this. If I submitted a proof photo like this it would not be accepted because it is not clear that it is the same dandelion puff. You may not edit in your username.
    .
  • You may make minor edits to your submission on photo editing software to alter the white balance, enhance the colors, adjust the focus, and to remove small things (as an example, if this photo was my submission, it would be okay to remove the power lines visible at the lower right corner of the photo). You may not add anything into your photo or significantly alter it beyond minor aesthetic changes. You may add a black and white or sepia filter to submissions to the Industrial Ingenuity category, if you wish. Proof photos will have no impact on judging (beyond making sure you're eligible), so you do not need to make any edits to your proof. If you are unsure if the edit you would like to make is okay, show me a before and after and I'll help you out. This will have no impact on your eligibility.
    .
  • Your submission must be your own photograph. Plagiarism is a very serious offense that we do not take lightly on Menewsha. In addition to being ineligible for the contest, if you are found to be using someone else's photo, you will receive an infraction against your account. I will find out, don't even bother!
    .
  • You may submit a maximum of two photos per category. Please only submit using your main account, no mules.
    .
  • It is up to you to make sure that the image hosting service you have chosen for your picture (photobucket, imageshack, etc.) is reliable and that you have provided the correct link. If your image no longer works and instead displays one of those error images, I may make an effort to contact you for a new link to the image. However, if this happens while I am judging, I will not have the time to wait a few days to hear back from you and so your entry may be discarded. If you notice your image is not working, please contact me ASAP with a working link.
    .
  • All submissions must use the submission form provided below. Please link to your submission and proof photos, do not imbed them with [img][/img] tags.

Prizes
Ahh, your favorite part! To reward you for taking such lovely photos, I'll be awarding a few prizes. But as far as what they are and how many there will be... that's a secret! If I receive many lovely photos, I may give out many lovely prizes. However, if I receive few or very poor photos, I may not give out many prizes at all. But I will guarantee you this much:
  • The First Place prize for at least one category will be worth at least 7,000g
  • The Second Place prize for at least one category will be worth 4,000g

Photos will not be disqualified for poor lighting, quality, time stamps, etc. but ones with excellent quality and due attention paid to lighting, angle, color, background and staging are much more likely to win a nice prize. Don't just snap a quick picture and call it a day! Get artistic with it. Experiment with different angles and macro close ups, move things around, spend some time touching it up on your computer. Get it just perfect and you could win big!

Notes: Took some pics of the cherry trees at the shrine near my apartment. The petals were already falling so they'll probably all be gone in a day or two. I adjusted the colors to give them some more umph (I took them after work, so it was already nearly dark) and rotated the pic, which is why the proof doesn't match the same angle. Hope that's okay!

Do you know of any ways to get the username onto said photos because I do not have any access to programs that would be able to do that on my computer but I do want to enter this contest.

Because the entries that I want to enter are ones that I've taken in years past so I can't take a picture with my username like the ones that you gave an example for.

Alright. If I can locate them, I'll send them your way. I am also confused by editing in the username - like is it not allowed to be put on on the computer? Because if that is the case, I'm in trouble because I have no way of taking decent pictures right now of the flowers I want.

Queen: That's what I want to know too... Because the photos I know of were taken months ago. But the way that the rules are worded makes it sound like it has to be photos that have been recently taken... Which means I can't enter. *sighs* I really do want to enter though!

I don't have snow myself, but there's no pretty flowers that interest me, and the ones I've thought of entering were taken last summer. Pretty flowers in the summer!

Hmm, desert flora. I can probably work with that. We just got a pretty new bougainvillea and a bunch of new vines for the back yard that I think have little buds on them. Maybe I'll even go scouting tomorrow morning for wildflowers. Might actually have to give this a try...

Although I do have a few photo's I took overseas that fit into the categories but I'll have a hard time proving that they're mine... That's if we are allowed to submit photos we have already taken. I guess it won't matter, I'm sure I'll find something in the city. :)

This sounds fab, especially the industrial category. I can't wait to see what kind of pictures you guys take!

I'm sorry, you've misread the rules. You may not edit your username onto the photo. It needs to be written on a slip of paper that is actually in the photograph itself. I posted examples in the rules.

If you can get a proof photo that sufficiently proves that the photo is yours, yes! For example, if you took a wide shot of a flower with your porch very clear in the background and you took a picture of that same porch now with your username in the photo, yes. If you took a closeup of a flower and/or there aren't really any "landmark" type things in the background, I'm afraid not.

Desert flora would be really interesting to see! It's not something I see much.

Does your pine tree flower?

You should definitely enter, you take such pretty photos!

You can submit old photos, but only if you can still provide an adequate proof photo for them. So the overseas photos are probably a no-go unless you're willing to hop a plane for this contest (not recommended). But you can still share the photos with us if you'd like to show them off!

Yeah, I don't expect many submissions in that category, but I'm hoping for a few cool, creative ones!

So basically if we don't have access to anything to take pictures of, we can't enter... Ok, finel whatever... I wanted to enter. But now I can't... :( This makes me sad.

Just wondering: not that the answer will make me change my mind at all -- why don't you want us editing our name onto the photo? I can tell you. And it makes me feel like you don't trust us - but the photo that I have in mind was MOST DEFINITELY taken by me.

Because editing your name onto it doesn't prove you took it. I could take a photo my friend posted on facebook and edit "Cherry Who?" onto it.

Please understand that people do try to cheat contests and games that we host during our events. It may be a small percentage of people, but every now and then someone tries something funny. Certain precautions have to be taken against that.

There's really only so much I can do here. Not everyone lives in an area that currently has flowers blooming, so I have also included the industrial category. Not everyone has access to a good camera, either, but there isn't really anything I can do about that. We strive to offer a wide variety of contests and games during each event so that there's something for everyone, regardless of the resources they have at hand or the time they have to spare. Unfortunately, most people won't be able to enter every single contest and play every game, but we do what we can.
